Answer 1

Question:

Consider a cookie recipe in which 1 1/2 cups of chocolate chips are needed to make 25 cookies. Lara wants to double the number of cookies. How many cups of chocolate chips should she use?

Answer:

$Cups = 3$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Cups = 1\frac{1}{2}$

$Cookies = 25$

Required

Number of cups when the cookies is doubled

When $Cookies = 25$, $Cups = 1\frac{1}{2}$

So, when the number of cookies is doubled, the number of cups will also be doubled.

i.e.

$Cookies = 25*2$

$Cookies = 50$

and

$Cups = 1\frac{1}{2} * 2$

Convert to improper fraction

$Cups = \frac{3}{2} * 2$

$Cups = \frac{3* 2}{2}$

$Cups = \frac{6}{2}$

$Cups = 3$

i.e. 3 cups are needed
